Sean Penn wins best supporting actor Oscar for 'One Battle After Another'

Sean Penn won his third acting Oscar on ‌Sunday ( Bangladesh time Monday) for his supporting role as an obsessed military officer in the political thriller "One Battle After Another."

Penn, 65, plays Colonel Steven Lockjaw, a white nationalist who is in love with a ⁠Black revolutionary while hating everything she and her family stand for.
He "flexes his muscles, grits his teeth, and growls his lines, but somehow threads the needle between truth and caricature," Brian Tallerico wrote in his review on rogerebert.com.

It was the third Oscar for Penn, who frequently skips movie industry awards shows and was not in the Dolby Theatre audience.

"Sean Penn couldn't be here, or didn't want to, so I'll accept the award on his behalf," said presenter Kieran Culkin, last year's supporting actor winner.

"Because ⁠of Paul’s movie, I’m in a stage of liking acting," he told W magazine "But I’ve always got carpentry to fall ⁠back on. And surfing."
